Being over-educated

Capable of reasoning. Ask Neil deGrasse Tyson, even people who become doctors can be incompetent and dumb.

EDIT: Actually Noam Chomsky talks about this a lot how academics have all this training and they don't know how to figure anything out. He said he admires car mechanics more because it's a lot of times a more creative thinking process.

Define "smart". To obtain a master's degree or any bachelor degree requires some nominal amount of discipline and intelligence.>> ^Yogi:

You sound like Glen Close in Fatal Attraction. Enough of this clingy shit. I'm not your therapist. Go write a sonnet or free a butterfly from a net. Call an old friend and say hi. Send a handwritten note to a sick relative. Give your wife a good long kiss. Smoke some pot and take a nap. Every little thing gonna be alright.

Your terms again. Got it. That's twice now in one conversation. Holding others to higher standards. Again.

What are we talking about? You said the only reason you re-friended me was because I showed up to see your movie; I only re-accepted to not hurt your feelings. Why in the holy fuck are we still talking? Go do something productive.

It's facebook. Whether you "initiate" comments or not, people can see them. You've never had issues before recently with stirring the pot; why all of a sudden? It's disingenuous to all of a sudden take the high ground out of the blue. But you're good at that.

Also, no need to copy your comment twice (once on my profile, once on yours). It's not that important.

In reply to this comment by dystopianfuturetoday:
When I have initiated politics, your comments have always been welcomed, but to let that bleed over to personal photos that are viewable to family, employers and professional colleagues is completely unacceptable - not to say very hypocritical from a guy who so vocally supports privacy rights. I would never go into your personal photos and try to initiate a political argument. That would be unacceptable behavior by my own personal standards.

I think I did too. The only reason I kept the friendship kindling was because you came to the Sunset 5. Now it's official. Good.

But are you so sure you've never brought up politics on FB before? I think you hold others to a higher standard than you hold yourself.

My FB photos are no place for your politics, so I'm cutting you loose. I think you had the right idea a few months ago. No hard feelings. We can still be VS frenemies.

If I ever make a movie, I have to have some way to have these awkward runners running off into the sunset.

Yea, it's been scary around here. The other day we were out in the park admiring the sunset... then we realized the sun doesn't set in the east. On the plus side it smells like a big campfire all the time.

About half the really good videos come through beggar's canyon at some point

Actually, @Issykitty, @dystopianfuturetoday and I attended an unofficial SiftUp back in... er... shit, sometime in Feb I think? It was for a movie screening. Does that count? It was on Sunset Blvd. We had brie and scones. Okay we didn't have brie and scones.
